100 A minimum, Trip Class 10A — motor protection across the start cycle
The Siemens 3RW5244-6TC05 SIRIUS soft starter is rated for a minimum motor current of 100 A and a rated voltage range of 200 to 600 V. Its default Trip Class 10A (per IEC 60947-4-2) means it will trip within 10 seconds at 7.2× rated current — matching the acceleration profile of standard induction motors driving pumps, fans, and conveyors without nuisance tripping. The unit also accepts Class 10E and 20E settings for longer ramp times or higher-inertia loads.
Multi-protocol fieldbus — PROFIBUS, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET
This soft starter integrates directly into modern automation architectures with onboard support for PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET. The PROFINET interface also carries PROFIenergy capability for coordinated energy management during idle phases. No separate gateway module is required for these protocols — the communication interface is built into the unit, reducing panel wiring and commissioning steps.
Mounting and environmental — screw-fixed, rotatable, derated above 40 °C
Mounting is by screw fixing on a vertical surface, with the unit rotatable ±90° and tiltable ±22.5° front-to-back for tight enclosure layouts. Clearance requirements: 100 mm upward, 75 mm downward, 10 mm forward, 5 mm at the sides, 0 mm backward. Shock resistance is 15 g / 11 ms (12 g / 11 ms with potential contact lifting).
